Message From the Chair of Governors

I would like to thank all the children, staff, carers, parents, and governors for making involvement with our school such a positive experience for all. 

I enjoy my visits to the school, especially the ‘hands on’ times, reading with the children and recently baking bread with some of Blue class. Experiencing the caring nature of our school, a place of safety and stability where children receive the challenge and encouragement needed to develop a lifelong love of learning was a privilege and reflects the dedication of all who work to improve the educational experience of all the children.  

As governors. We would like to send our best wishes to Ms Phillips and Mrs Walker who have both recently left the school. Both have given years of service to the school for which we are grateful. Mrs Saxon has taken up the reins in Green Class, Mrs Harris has joined Yellow Class and we will be welcoming Mrs Rinfret to the school as Bursar.

I am happy to be able to continue as Chair of the Governors and look forward to the rest of this year as it unfolds, and I am grateful to the work done by my fellow governors in supporting the school in various ways.  

With best wishes

David Ireland October 2024
